Back in the game with help from Christiana Care's experienced heart team
For an active golfer and racquet sportsman like Allen Terrell, a life-threatening heart problem was simply not on the scorecard. 'I wasn't having any symptoms, but to my surprise, a diagnostic scan showed I had significant calcium buildup in a number of coronary arteries.' When his cardiologist suggested further testing, an angiogram revealed 90 percent blockages in four of those arteries. The very next day, Terrell was scheduled for a quadruple heart bypass at Christiana Hospital.
Gerri Snavely thought she was coming to Christiana Care for a knee replacement operation. Little did she suspect it was her heart that needed critical attention.
